Calm down Hillary fans, jealousy is not a good look

[TrueDemVA]

The absolute childish smear campaign going on immediately after it was announced that Bernie was invited to speak at a conference at the Vatican is so transparent. What should be an occasion to be celebrated by ALL in the Democratic Party has become downright sad. Instead of hearing how important it is to have a democratic candidate discussion morality in economics and policy (a major Democratic value) we are hearing lies and misinformation coming from Camp Weathervane and the Clinton Machine minions.

Who cares if someone asked about attending due to an interest in this topic. If the officials running the conference did not want Bernie to attend, they would not have entertained the idea. Of course it is a political move. Bernie reaching out to a wider audience with other world leaders and scholars is a great move. The officials running the event know there is a political move, they are not ignorant. More than a few Vatican officials are interested in what Bernie has to say and that is a positive.

Also, who cares if the Pope will not be there at the same time Bernie is there, b/c being a guest at the Vatican is endorsement enough that what Bernie is saying about a moral economy is more than a political issue.

People see through the Hill-bots attempts to downplay this and honestly, it is tragic that they feel it necessary to spew such vile and knowingly false claims about the invite. I would say they should be ashamed of themselves, but I don't think the ones taking part in this have any shame.

I hope any Hillary supporters that read to this point understand that I know a vast majority of her supporters are not like the people I am discussing. I know that most of you are good people and believe in your candidate. For those of you not taking part in this smear, I thank you and will always respect your decision. Honestly, I know a few Hillary supporters and they are great and they are tired of this crap.

1. Jealousy is certainly the word.

This is hilarious.

"NUH UH, HE WASN'T INVITED. OH HE WAS? WELL, HE WON'T BE SPEAKING! OH HE WILL? WELL THE POPE ISN'T GOING TO BE THERE!!!!"

Seriously, hilarious.

8. Hate to admit it - but Hillary has way more class then some of her supporters

Even she can accept defeat

However on the conniving factor ie: running a rouge State Dept. contrary to Obama's stated positions is where she out performs all expectations

2. This really IS a BIG deal.

For the HRC camp to belittle this will come back and bite them in the ass. People are not stupid and they see right thru this.

But get used to it. This is what happens when you buck the establishment. They'll fight your ass all the way. The good part is they don't always win. This election is Yuuuuge. And we the people can finally get our country back. So tell me, is it worth fighting for?

HELL YES IT IS!!!


Go Bernie, GO!!!!!!

3. They wear it well

They are doing everything they can to minimize it. They are even down to checking the flights to Italy and worrying that Bernie won't get in any sightseeing.

I expect the gnashing of teeth will continue for a few more days.

4. that's insane. nt

5. It really is. insane. sad and pathetic.

I mean. I laugh. It is funny. The crap they are throwing out. But, the motivation behind it all. Pitiful.

I think some of them need their meds adjusted.

7. Well it's the weekend and no one is really paying any attention to them

so let them waste their keystrokes. They'll be breaking for lunch soon, then they'll be going down for their naps.

6. Bernie Sanders: Pope Francis, Climate Change, and the Economy (2/25/2015) Catholics 4Bernie

[SmittynMo]

9. Here's the big difference.

Bernie WANTS to talk about the issues. He has consistently said this. Let's talk about climate change, healthcare for all, 15.00 and hour,equal rights,,,. The list goes on and on.

HRC: NO WE CAN'T.


End of discussion.

10. What class. You address Hillary's supporters in a group

where they can't reply.

[Dragonfli]

11. Not true, they can reply here as long as they are polite and respectful, it is only the haters that

are asked to leave, I hate the word "haters" because it is juvenile but unfortunately it has become part of the DU language much like the word truthiness has been added to the dictionary, and taken for granted, so I suppose I should use it as well, so that the audience that consider it an adult way to speak of things will understand me and what is considered unacceptable.

I am not a host here but have found it to be the case that they don't just ban people in order to quiet them when they speak intelligently and stay on topic with a rational argument. You are thinking about a different group that has a rather quick and arbitrary banning trigger finger.

[TrueDemVA]

12. Not true

They can reply all they like as long as they aren't trolls and disrespectful to individuals. We try not to censor everyone just b/c their opinion may be different like in the Hillary group.

13. You did, so what's the problem? nt

14. They do the same thing.
